That's why Jefferson assured the Danbury Baptist church that there would be separation of church and state.
So Cahn is wrong about America being founded on God and Christian principles. America was founded on freedom. Therefore, another premise, besides Isaiah 9:10, falls down.

I agree. Referring to the USA Cahn said: "They brought forth it's first government in the name of Jesus." This is wrong. The U.S' Constitution says no such thing.
